Laurie obviously has a problem with this. However, it's not a public school, so it's not technically illegal. She's unsure what to do, and is asking for ideas. I posted my own idea in her comments (I was first. I'm never first. That was cool). Why not go over there and check out the details, and leave her a thoughtful reply? There are probably resolutions to this no one else has thought of yet, and a good conversation may yield some workable results.
